And so it begins–the end game for this chapter. In this strip, Spy Gal and Zurida are referring to a conversation we’ve all already seen over in SuperFogeys Origins. Spy Gal’s Secret Mission is a more than worth a look, but it’s the last page that gives the lowdown on the bad blood on display [...]

We’re even approaching things a little differently, with Marc essentially assuming the role of co-plotter for the rest of this chapter as [...]

I’m starting to find some unique joys in having a long-running webcomic. One of them is scenes like this. There’s a huge gap between how Cap and Doc related to each other at the beginning of the strip and how they are now. I believe firmly in change. People don’t stay one way through their [...]

If we’ve done our job right, today’s post is not quite what you were expecting. I’ve been touting SF 500 for weeks now as a gigantic update–and it certainly is at quadruple the normal size–but the scope of the tale is actually quite intimate, not unlike SF 300 a couple years back. This is, simply, [...]

Welcome back, everyone! Last week’s break was, I’m sure, completely unwelcome, but we both appreciate your patience and understanding. Your response to SF 500 was overwhelming and so, so positive. 107 comments and counting. For a webcomic with a modest readership like ours, that’s a big friggin’ deal. That makes today’s update sort of long-awaited. [...]

I don’t think you get to strike the pose Money Man is OWNING in the first panel and not be considered a total bad@$$. Like, he’s not even gonna give you his front. Naw, you gotta look at him from the side if you wanna admire him after he takes out the bad guy (or [...]

I’m gonna be honest with you guys–I did not plan on introducing this story thread in this chapter. I mean, there’s an alien invasion going on. How many more threats do the Fogeys need to deal with? This isn’t the same as saying this is an unplanned story. What Money Man is talking about is [...]

by Brock Heasley on September 16th, 2013Feels like forever since we’ve check in on Cap and company. When last we left them, they had a heckuva surprise visitor who had some ominous news before taking off. Now, they’re locked up in Zurida’s Palace–somewhat by choice, somewhat not. Cap made a devil’s bargain to get Michelle back… so now what? I really [...]

When last we saw Zurida she was making one heckuva deal with Jerry. What is still unexplained is what, exactly, she wants to do with the power crystal now that she has it. That’s next week. See you then. Sometimes, strips like this are frustrating because they essentially serve as transitions to to the stuff [...]
